Misc Christmas – It Came Upon A Midnight Clear (Guitar)

   C     F     C
[tab]     F        D7      G7
That glorious song of old

     C      F       C
From angels bending near the earth

   F           G7       C
To touch their harps of gold

       E7                 Am
"Peace on the earth, good will to men

     G            D7       G
From heaven's all gracious King;"

    C        F      C
The world in solemn stillness lay,

   F        G7     C
To hear the angels sing

      C           F      C
Still through the cloven skies they come

     F        D7      G7
With peaceful wings unfurled,

    C           F        C
And still their heavenly music floats

     F       G7    C
O'er all the weary world

 E7               Am
Above its sad and lowly plains

     G       D7       G
They bend on hovering wing;

    C    F        C
And ever o'er its Babel sounds

    F       G7     C
The blessed angels sing.

  C     F            C
O ye, beneath life's crushing load

      F         D7      G7
Whose forms are bending low,

    C     F        C
Who toil along the climbing way

     F       G7        C
With painful steps and slow

     E7                Am
Look now! for glad and golden hours

     G       D7     G
Come swiftly on the wing;

  C      F        C
O rest beside the weary road

    F        G7     C
And hear the angels sing

    C        F        C
For lo!  The days are hastening on

   F        D7      G7
by prophets seen of old

     C        F    C
When with the ever-circling years

      F        G7       C
shall come the time foretold

     E7               Am
When peace shall over all the earth

    G       D7        G
its ancient splendors fling

    C        F           C
And the whole world send back the song

      F       G7     C
which now the angels sing!
